▶ Your Answer :
There might be some people who believe that
telephones has had a bigger effect on our lives than televisions. However, I
personally disagree the above idea with two subsequent reasons. First, the
television offers a lot of information. Moreover, people can enjoy video
materials at home by the televisions.
First of all, people are given a lot of
information from the television. To be specific, we can know about many new
things while watching news, documentaries, and life-style programs and those of
television programs made our lives more smarter and effective. Let me bring up
my personal story as an example. When I didn't know about home shopping
programs on televisions, I should go to a department store far away from home.
However, after one of my friends recommended the home shopping program to me, I
need not to go to the department store, which means I could just buy my clothes
at home! If it had not been for televisions, I could not have gotten new
information about clothes easily.
In addition, televisions enable us to enjoy
video materials at home. What this means is that we can now watch movies,
dramas, and concert shows thanks to the television, which was impossible before
a wide spread of televisions. According to a recent study done by professor Kim
in Seoul National University, 70 percent of the respondents answered that they
watch movies with televisions at home instead of in theaters and this is due to
the convenience. This is clearly shows that people prefer to use televisions
and they make people's lives more effective.
In conclusion, televisions present not only
lots of useful information and plenty of video materials to us. For these
reasons, I firmly believe that televisions have had a more effective influence
on people's lives than telephones. |
